traefik / whoami

Could this please be considered to rename the app binary to not overlap with a common *NIX tool whoami (man 1 whoami) so that those who prefer to not use Docker but install binary directly with go install (or by other means, e.g. Homebrew) don't suffer from a need to apply local quirks for this app to not overlap with whoami from base *NIX distros.
Thank you in advance.

whoami has been built to be used inside the tests of Traefik and with containers.

The target was not to create a tool to be used outside of Traefik's context.

So we will not change the name.

Got you. Thanks.

Would have worthen of mentioning in README though to eliminate confusion for passer-by's like me 😺

Note: if you want to change the name, you can do it by changing the value of the flag -o:

whoami/Makefile

Line 8 in 87f25fc

    
           CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -a --trimpath --installsuffix cgo --ldflags="-s" -o whoami

ex:

 CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -a --trimpath --installsuffix cgo --ldflags="-s" -o traefik-whoami

Note: it's not because it was built for Traefik's testing that you cannot use it outside of this context but because we don't plan to create the "ultimate whoami application" 😄 the name or the features should not impact our main goal.

Thanks for the pointer.

Though you made it to pick up common unixish util name 😄
